This week on the podcast I talk to the founder of the Independent Horror Society and filmmaker Chris Nials. Chris started the Independent Horror Society in London as a way for horror lovers to get together and watch Horror movies. It quickly transformed and became more of a hub for filmmakers and people who love horror to connect with the horror creators.

Chris is also a producer having worked on a bunch of short films and having recently released 'Walking Against the Rain' . I talked to Chris about the Independent Horror Society, we chatted about his feature film, it was funded through the SEIS scheme in the UK so it was good to quiz him about that and find out the pitfalls and his tips for those of you thinking of doing that yourself. We talked about the feature film, the sales and distribution process. 

Chris says he has a good Sales Agent, which is something you don't often hear so it was great to quiz him about that. He's also a professional marketeer so it was great to get his tips on how to promote your film, Enjoy!
